Question for written answer E-001852/2024
to the Commission
Rule 144
Carmen Crespo Díaz (PPE)
European producers are in dire straits as a direct consequence of the increase in production costs, ongoing geopolitical conflicts and a price crisis which is due in part to overlaps with the timing of imports from third countries.
Imports from third countries create unfair competition because they do not have to meet the environmental, social and economic requirements that apply for European producers. This is causing profitability problems for European farmers. It is also undermining the generational renewal required to guarantee the future of farming in Europe, and therefore also the food security of the people of Europe, who cannot rely on third countries.
In view of the above:
Is the Commission intending to review trade agreements with third countries so as to introduce mirror clauses?
